A Brief History
Hodge House was built by the Hodge family around 1811. The Hodge, Northern, Cartwright and Sawyer families lived on and loved this land until 1928 when it became part of Percy Warner Park. Learn more about these families by researching the List of Hodge House Owners, compiled by Robert M. Northern, June 2011.
Warner Park naturalists work with Metro Archives to proudly preserve and share the incredible history of this land. Over the years, volunteers compiled photos, maps, stories, and notes. If you have information about the Hodge House or Warner Park history to share, please contact [email protected].
In 2007, Metro Parks of Nashville and Friends of Warner Parks orchestrated the effort to salvage logs, hardware, and other parts of the original house. Working with the Historic Commission and local contractors, Hodge House was reconstructed to be used for historic programming and special occasions.
